I-75 / I-696 Interchange – Royal Oak / Hazel Park

With the average traffic flow of 360,000 vehicles per day, the I-75/ I-696 Interchange is the busiest intersection in the State of Michigan. This aspect would normally give rise to various safety concerns when surveying. We, however were able to scan and provide surveys of six of the bridges that make up the intersection without any disturbance to normal traffic flow.

By using laser scanning technology we were able to accurately collect data from over 40 separate scan positions encompassing the entire interchange without ever entering into a roadway. Mapping point data was collected by our Survey Technicians using the ‘Virtual Surveyor’ module of Leica Geosystems’ Cyclone software.
